Eh, people can play however they want, it just seems like playing this game on easy mode is missing the point. Like going out to an obstacle race course and building little bridges over all the mud pits and putting little doors through all the climbing walls. I guess you can do it if all you want is a nice hike, but then why did you come to the obstacle course? Eh, I guess I'm being an idiot. Whining about how other people choose to play games is pointless.

At least try the climbing wall!"

Random rear end in a top hat posted:Did you also upgrade his weapon? Unlike most weapon upgrades, his first lowers his max damage (and raises his min, I think?) and dramatically increases his accuracy. Yeah, that is what the mask does for some reason (also in practice). It has other mods on it so it's not a completely useless ancestral but I'd rather see it working properly.

The Lighter Dungeon mod doesn't seem that bad, just some minor changes here and there. It's not like he's doubling gold and XP amounts or the like.

There doesn't seem to be any point in levelling your heroes to level 5 or 6. You can buy the best equipment and skills at level 4, and when you're level 4 you can do level 5 dungeons without characters complaining(taking more stress damage).

My brother plunged on early access since I've only pledged for 2 copies at nomad level (this was before we found we could have raised the pledge  by paypal), so we've been alternating using Steam family sharing. Unfortunately for him he also took all the bad luck and leaving me a relatively painless romp compared to his more X-com rage moments  . Heck, he even had an adventurer dying of starvation on a scouting mission just before the last room. Meanwhile I just had a run at the wizened hag that ended in round 2 after 4 straight crits (grave digger and helion on hag, leper on cauldron and grave digger again on hag). Admittedly with almost fully decked lvl 4s, but thoroughly enjoyed that.Regarding the sanitarium bugs, do anybody else experience if they commit people to treatment, save and reload and then finish a mission, the game would seemingly forget that the heroes were in for treatment?

Like, the Leper's little koans after critting, or the Grave Digger pep talks being weird compliments. I really want to bring a Crusader for this very reason, but I can't stop dual Hellion now. Its too good. Hellion all day every day.

Not sure if this is something anyone would be interested in, what with all the professional LPers apparently already tackling this, but I am doing an LP of my own on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROFhaUAYIfA is episode 1. I've done 3 episodes so far. I'd actually like feedback on how I'm playing more than anything. I feel like there's a lot more I could be doing with all the money I have stashed. edit: in case it matters, I get my sound levels ironed out a fair bit in episode 3.

Actually, it wouldn't even be that hard to modify the game's art. Its all just sitting there in folders. You could just photoshop over whichever of the existing dungeons you want. And if you got really clever with the JSON, you could probably even add a 5th dungeon.... Oh god if we could mod in some custom classes somehow that would be amazing. There's probably a ton of art for characters though.

Art modding is definitely very easy though, provided you have the tools and talent to do so. e: and yes this means I expect a Goonest Dungeon mod within six months of the actual release.

Yeah I imagine the actual skills are hard-coded somewhere, so you could only go so far with custom classes. Dungeons though you could hack up the art and change the enemies and quests and stuff... Originally the save data was in plaintext JSON, but as of a couple patches ago they encrypted it. (aww!) The game data is still in plaintext, but I wonder if that'll change before the end of Early Access. Hopefully they'll support mods in some fashion. Steam Workshop support for this game would be amazing.

So I lowered all the towns upgrade costs and mission supply costs, actually enjoying the game now. It's the same game, I just don't have to go on a million grindy gold/heirloom raids with throw-away parties to afford to upgrade things to only then have a chance at actually finish missions. Now every attempt is a real attempt.

That's not really a problem so much per se, you still have plenty of high level missions you could do, and you can keep upgrading your stagecoach if you need a bigger roster to do newbie missions still. But I can understand if you would want to be able to send anybody on any mission regardless. On the other hand, sending one high level 5 hero with a bunch of level 0-s would allow you to power-level newbies.

Just beat the hag witch or whatever it is. The champion hag. Nobody died, but everybody went nuts. I think of the boss fights the hag is the shittiest designed, mostly because you HAVE to bring back row multi-hit strikers or you're totally hosed. Basically hellions, highwaymen, and occultists. You can't burn down the cauldron, and since it dumps your guys in the front row you essentially have to waste a turn if she eats one of your ranged guys. The best case scenario is she puts a tank in the pot and you just let them simmer there. It's just horribly designed because the RNG can totally buttfuck you if she dunks your Highwayman or some other ranged DPS focused character, especially since ALL her attacks seem to cause stress and lead to you having to do the fight with everybody afflicted. Earlier versions of her were a lot less painful because she had less HP so you could burst her and give the RNG less chances to poo poo on your face, but when you need to burn through 130 HP or whatever it was, you're gonna get hosed.

Also if you're spending 20 turns beating on the cauldron since it has like 20 hp and takes 1 damage per hit just so your front row can hit the bitch, you're doing it wrong.

I have to say, the boss I have the most trouble with is the Swine Prince/King, because if Wilbur decides to keep using End These Two, you can end up with multiple people on death's door every turn. And then they get killed by Wilbur and that's just humiliating.

The Hag's pot just needs a delay. If you break it, she shouldn't be able to throw somebody else into the pot for X turns. Also their order should change occasionally, so that she's on the front row. Possibly whenever you break the pot. That'd make several other strategies viable. Right now its just ranged blitz. Which is boring.

I usually found Piggy Smalls to be the easiest. You can get an artifact for the crusader and a martyr's seal that decrease deathblow chance. Put a leper and crusader in front with those on and have them spam protect while your back row blasts Piggy's HP. Even if they get death's doored they have like 95% death's door resist with those items.

Can you break the empty pot? When it has someone in it it takes normal damage, but when it's empty it seems to only take one point of damage and it's restored to full health every time someone comes out of it. if you could break the pot and force the hag into melee the fight would be faster and more fun, especially if she got different attacks in the front row.

Bleeds and blights do stack, though, I'm not sure if it stacks like 2 4 4 2 (assuming you land two ) or 2 4 4 4 but they do stack, for sure. I've seen bleeds go as high as like 9 on someone hit by three Rend for the Old Gods.
